What A Day

[Sam]

No need to apologize, about all we can do right now is think about fishing and wait for the temp and the ramps to improve. It looks like a good warm-up is coming.

I used to brave the winter weather and fish in some real cold conditions. I'm thinking about a trip on Bull Shoals years ago, back when I only had a 12' aluminum boat. I went out on a cold day and got to catching a limit of crappie so fast I was throwing them in the bottom of the boat. They all froze to the boat, and I had to leave them there as I drove home. When I got the boat home I tried to get the fish loose, first with a big screwdriver then with a crowbar, and I couldn't do it - trying to pry them loose was tearing up the meat.

I was young, poor, and didn't have a propane torch in those days, so I had to put the boat in the garage overnight to get the crappie off the bottom of the boat the next day. Then I had to leave them in the kitchen sink all day before they thawed enough that I could finally clean them. Good times!

Indeed no need to apologize. Your intent was pretty obvious from this angle.
